Every behaviour has a reason.

Based in Southend-on-Sea, Courtyard Canines provides fully insured one-to-one dog training to help owners understand why behaviours happen. We are certified trainers and coach owners and their dogs through common challenges such as:

  • Loose lead walking
  • Recall
  • Confidence building
  • Calm behaviour around distractions
  • Settling in public places
  • Puppy foundations
  • Adolescent behaviours

Why Courtyard Canines?

Courtyard Canines grew from my everyday life with my own dog, Yuna. Like many owners, I learned that behaviour has a reason, and that with the right understanding and support, real progress is possible.
I now help other dog owners build calm, practical, real-world skills so they can enjoy life with their dogs with more confidence.

Session Structure

Here's what to expect before, during, and after each training session.

Before each session:

  • We'll agree the time, location, and format in writing.
  • We advise you review our T&Cs and Privacy Policy.
  • Any changes to a session must be done at least 2hrs before it starts.
  • Unless otherwise agreed, every session must be paid for before starts.

During each session:

  • Each in-person session starts with an assessment (including progress monitoring).
  • You can always ask for clarification on any aspect of the training.
  • Each session will end with a recap, so everyone is clear on how to progress.

After each session:

  • We will provide a summary of the session, with clear guidance on how to progress.
  • In-person sessions have a follow-up call the following week to check progress.
